Donner und Blitzen

According to the National Jewish Democratic Council, "Barack" means "lightning" in Hebrew, while "Rahm" means "thunder."
Thunder & Lightning = Change that can get it done
Or: "Thunder & Lightning = time to seek shelter. You may get fried."

(By the way, "Barack" really was the name of Mohammed's horse. I looked it up.)

Mohammed rode a unity pony?

And Barack Obama in gematria has the numerical equivalent 357, corresponding to darkness, gloom, shame, but also (encouragingly or otherwise) to during a twinkling, for a moment. Will it be rapid exit from office or the nuking of sh*t out of the world? :-)

I mean, what profitably exploitable resources are left for capitalism in the western hemisphere anyway? Not much loss to capital if they're nuked to f*ck...

Just a cheerful thought.

Lightning or flash.Flash seems more appropriate.
NJDC updated to say the way Rahm spells his name in Hebrew translates as loud.
Infinitely more comic possibilities.

Are we getting metaphysical again? 'Kay, then Obama is still done. As an astrologer and low-grade psychic I have no explanation for how he made it this far and I don't see him getting that much farther (at all). He's operating on borrowed time now.

Since we've talked about "a date" here recently, I'll put the time frame for the big scandal's explosion as being between December 10 and 20. (My money's on the Rezko connection.) He may get sworn in, (or he may not) but if he does, I predict that he's out of the White House by February, March at the latest. Biden, too. And then we shall see what we shall see.

Thanks for linking to my post at The Confluence. I wrote it late at night without much thought. I guess I should have said FBI rather than CIA, but what do I know. I'm just an old peace demonstrater who actually had a husband in Vietnam and didn't have the resources or money people like Ayers and Dohrn did. The Pike Committe did find plenty of evidence of CIA involvement in domestic spying, I think.

Barrack is actually is a centaur/pegasuslike creature with the body of a mule, the head of a woman and psychedelic rainbow wings. Mohammed rode al Barrack to heaven and hell on the night of revelation.
